[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 107911, member: 8843"] colin , sometimes with VLD bullets you can get better groups at 200yds that at 100yds , something about the bullet "settling down" or "going to sleep" I have a 308 that will shoot 175gr Bergers into the same size groups at 100yds as it does at 300yds. My velocities with this load are a little slow and the barrel is a 1-12 twist so their may be some trueth to the bullets settling down and stabilizing a little more at the longer range. But if you have a true 1/2 moa gun thenj it should hold that out as far as you want inj theory. so times it can be better sometimes it can be worse the only real way is to shoot it. As for the bullet seating , I have found that any bullet i have ever loaded like to be seated into the lands for accuracy sake , it will make you loos a little speed due to the presure being a little higher but generaly if the chamber is cut well and you ammo is loaded strait then seating into the lands will yield best accuracy [/QUOTE]
